how would you bring back dollars to new jersey in this environment and what would you identify as the most pressing new jersey project in need of federal funding? kyrillos: well unfortunately, these guys abuse the earmark process. they were excessive. and of course now we are at a point with their debt problem that we can't afford them. so i'm going to fight tooth and nail for every project that can come back home within the confines of formulae and other plans that exist for people to compete for. and i'm going to be very active and visible all around the state. we lost a big army bait in monmouth county. they didn't just employ people in monmouth county but people all around new jersey. senator i'm not sure where you were in that fight. i didn't see it. and of course we lost those jobs and we lost that base and the move to aberdeen maryland at a sky-high price tag to the american taxpayer. and so the existing army base, the megabass that is what we have to work for. >> moderator: thank you sir. senator menendez? menendez: can i go a little over? >> moderator: i've got you covered. m

provinces in germany are given exclusive authority over language, over religion, over education, over environment, you know, fill in the blank. now, again, this is something that we could debate about at great length, but i assume that if you like federalism defined as some degree of subnational autonomy where people can make decisions rell thetively free -- relatively free of national override, then our constitution does a dreadful job in protecting local autonomy. you might, on the other hand, believe in some areas we have too much local autonomy as a political matter and would want to address that in a constitution. you mentioned cities that are very interesting. texas is six times as large as the entire united states population in 1790. we in austin especially are familiar with the tyranny of a centralized government in austin itself called the state government that often seems determined to deprive the city of austin of autonomy over matters that we hold near and dear. so i think that to the extent that federalism does stand for a principle of decision making at subnational levels and allowi

the political environment, just like the business world is highly competitive. and with every campaign season, there's always innovation incubators if you will. and so, guess the campaign is a bit of a nonterritorial showcase. and i say this because i think a lot of us think that we see these ads. i guess we think the campaign is like this big marketing machine that spits out the ads we see on television and the canvassers to get on our doors and e-mails that flood our inbox, you know, the phone calls and so forth. but if you peel back the curtain, you might find some in a little bit different. you find a very complex, highly detailed operation. purchased a million things happening at once. things happening around the candidate, things happening around the headquarters operation. things happening in the field offices. everything from, for example, where is the candidate going to stand? is going to stand with the candidate? were a society you should choose for that? how many people should come to the event right down to the helium in the balloons and how we spend
